Peaceful solution to row with Cambodia sought

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has said that he will seek peaceful means of resolving the lingering row between his country and Cambodia.
The row was worsened by the appointment of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as the Cambodia’s economic adviser.
Cambodia has rejected Thailand’s request to extradite Shinawatra, deepening the rift between the two countries.
Billionaire Thaksin, who was ousted in a bloodless coup in 2006 and is living abroad to avoid a prison term for corruption, arrived in Cambodia earlier this month and received a warm welcome from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
